    Directions (111-115): Each question below has two blanks, each blank indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the set of words for each blank that best fits the meaning of the sentence as whole.

    The tone of the government officer was ___________ , 

    so  I preferred to leave the place rather than __________ myself  in the argument.
    A friendly , indulging Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B aggressive , indulging Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C belligerent , embroil Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D good , participate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A tone of any person can’t  be friendly or good in an argument, therefore optns 1) & 4) already ruled out. Aggressive and belligerent are synonyms but we ‘usually’ indulge ourselves in something good and ‘embroil’ in a conflict or argument. Hence, optn 3 suits best.
